Learn to make a Sunburst Veneer Pattern Table Top with Phil Lowe

arnold_fed_tripod_1Using veneers opens up countless possibilities in furniture making. Not only are you able to use exotic woods that might be to costly to use as a solid wood but the patterns that can be created can make exceptional decorative effects. Book matching, slipmatching and more are the "run of the mill" patterns but manipulating crotch veneers to form a sunburst pattern can yield truly spectacular results . Join Phil Lowe, one of this countries leading furniture masters, while we explore the possibilities  and complexities involved in making this dramatic pattern.  Students will each make their own round or elliptical shaped tabletop with a sunburst veneer pattern. In order to cover the edge and protect the delicate veneer edges we will also apply a banding around the edge of the substrate and add a solid stringing around the edge of the piece. The piece you make in class could be used for a small candlestand table or even as a serving platter. Whatever you decide to do with it- learning the techniques and applying it to your own work is well worth spending an informative weekend learning some new skills. Don't miss out- sign up today.
